QuoteBut wait, some people are crying, he took it upon himself to announce his pregnancy in a national magazine. He chose to go on Oprah. Didn't he sort of bring scrutiny upon himself? Don't you think maybe he's looking for all this attention?
Maybe. Maybe he's trying to set a precedent for transpeople. Maybe he's trying to stir up a $#^! storm. Maybe he was just bored (he does live in Bend, after all). Maybe he just thought his story was worth telling, and if the media attention he's getting is any indication, it obviously is.
It's nice to read a rational commentary on Thomas. Thanks, Karen.
